I ** REALLY ** want this dynamic automatic adjusting of overall network TPS. It is like dynamic memory allocation versus static allocation, except we are talking about expensive server costs here.
Managing the NXT network would become much simpler if we just had to identify the lagging nodes and dealing with those, rather than the alternative.
By picking the right percentage of acceptable blacklisted nodes and acceptable percentage of spillover blocks, we could lower overall NXT server costs by 50% or more.

I think we will get that blacklisting automatically with TF fully enabled. Do you remember that TF do kind of blackisting of accounts which skip their round of forging?
I figured it did, but if we somehow slowed down the networks TPS rate, then more nodes can catch up, reducing the blacklist percentage. I have no idea what percentage of nodes would get blacklisted at 1000 TPS, but I know that less would get blacklisted at 500TPS.
If we can run at 1000TPS and the blacklist percentage (from lack of speed) is acceptable, then let it run at full speed. however, if 60% of the network can;t keep up, then much better to slow down the overall TPS. If we can automatically do this, then there is no need to have the max TPS hardcoded.
